Day 4: September 18, 2013

The day before the roadtrip...dun dun dun! 

Number one, sleep in again...not quite as late as the other days, but still a good 9am, ahhh.

Number two, force mind to pray a little before the endless brain lists start dictating activity...a very difficult task today that I'm not sure I accomplished for more than a few minutes. 

Number three, figure out that applying for Washington Department of Health is actually not that hard and if I quickly find an online HIV-AIDS course that credits 4 hours, then I might be able to send the application off today before we go...Cue madly scrambling to organize and finish application. Ticked off boxes--no creepy crimes committed, check. Send email to supervisor as reference, check. Fingerprinted at Police Station, check. Get check (note American spelling...ugh, what an ugly spelling)...well that one didn't work because my new Bank of America account has zero money in it...hmm. 
Aaaaand, 1 hour of looking at a 118 slide powerpoint to do with HIV-AIDS in Washington = braindead. 
Conclusion- finish application tomorrow in the car and mail somewhere in Oregon.

Number four, kindly ask Bryan to stop working and making money and clean the car instead.

Number five, pack the car with all our hiking, climbing, warm stuff, hot weather stuff, and wedding stuff. 

Number six, Skype with my dear friend Jenna Lee Falk up in Grande Prairie whom I miss and who is so excellent. Congrats on the new job!!

Number seven, deliver Jordy to my marvelous Auntie Nelly and have a nice visit complete with a little pre-dinner and delicious tea.

Number eight, another dinner at Red Robin with April...a split basket of chicken strips was the perfect amount.

Number nine, last bits of packing and running around. 

Number ten, bed time with the hubster so we can wake up early and get on our way, woot! 

Tomorrow, Lava Tube Caves and Crater Lake! Can't wait to reap the benefits of our Annual National Parks Pass!!
